In this tutorial, we will walk through the installation process of PartKeepr on FreeBSD Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have:
First, let's update the package repository and install some required packages:
$ sudo pkg update
$ sudo pkg install apache24 php74 php74-mysqli php74-pdo_mysql php74-dom php74-json php74-xmlwriter php74-libxml php74-hash
To install PartKeepr, we will use the Git repository. In the terminal, run the following commands:
$ cd /tmp/
$ git clone https://github.com/partkeepr/PartKeepr.git
$ mv PartKeepr /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
$ cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data/PartKeepr
$ sudo chown -R www:www .
We need to configure Apache to serve PartKeepr. Open the Apache configuration file /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf using your favorite text editor:
$ sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
Alias /partkeepr "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/PartKeepr/web"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/PartKeepr/web">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file. Then restart the Apache server:
$ sudo service apache24 restart
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost/partkeepr. You should see the PartKeepr login page.
If you want to access PartKeepr from another machine, you need to replace localhost with the IP address or domain name of your FreeBSD machine.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PartKeepr on FreeBSD Latest. Now you can start managing your electronic components and inventory with PartKeepr.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
